A system and method for the management of client computing device DNS queries and subsequent resource requests within a content delivery network service provider domain are provided. The management of the DNS queries can include the selection of computing devices corresponding to various Point of Presence locations for processing DNS queries. Additionally, the management of the content requests can include the selection of computing devices corresponding to resource cache components corresponding to various Point of Presence locations for providing requested content. The selection of the computing devices can incorporate logic related to geographic criteria, testing criteria, and the like.

A content delivery method including the operations of receiving a uniform resource locator resolution request at an authoritative name server for a domain where the uniform resource resolution request is received based, at least in part, on a host name of the uniform resource resolution request where the host name is uniquely related to a resource associated with the uniform resource resolution request. The method further including the operation of tracking a popularity of the resource based on the host name uniquely related to the resource and providing a location within a network capable of delivering the resource where the provided location is based on the popularity of the resource.

Provided are an identifier resolution method and apparatus for the Internet of Things, In the method, different identifier resolution systems are compatible through constructing an identifier resolution architecture for the Internet of Things, and a unified method is used for resolving various identifiers. Therefore, it is simply required to maintain one identifier resolution architecture for the Internet of Things when resolving different identifiers, which reduces the workload and difficulty for maintenance of the identifier resolution system and thus reduces the workload and difficulty for maintenance of the Internet of Things.

A management server issues a token associated with friend network identification information identifying a user of a game provided by an application server, to the application server; receives the token passed from the game to another game on the basis of an operation of the user in a terminal apparatus where the game and the other game are available, from an application server that provides the other game; and manages, in association with each other, the friend network identification information related to the game and friend network identification information related to the other game for which the issued token matches the received token.

A method for processing a cloud service in a cloud system, wherein the cloud system includes a hosted cloud, an allied cloud, and an alliance management apparatus, wherein the hosted cloud includes a first region, the allied cloud includes a second region, the hosted cloud further provides a virtual region for a user, and the virtual region is mapped by the second region on the hosted cloud. The alliance management apparatus enables a user of the hosted cloud to obtain unified experience when the user accesses the first region and the virtual region in the cloud system, for example, unified experience in control interface access, and unified experience in application programming interface (API) access.

A method by one or more network devices communicatively coupled to a web application layer proxy for profiling parameters of web application layer requests received by the web application layer proxy while preserving privacy. The method includes obtaining masked parameter values associated with a parameter in the web application layer requests, where the masked parameter values associated with the parameter are generated by the web application layer proxy based on masking parameter values associated with the parameter while preserving lengths of the parameter values associated with the parameter and character types of characters in the parameter values associated with the parameter, generating the profile of the parameter based on analyzing the masked parameter values associated with the parameter, and providing the profile of the parameter to the web application layer proxy.

The present application describes a system and method for passively collecting DNS traffic data as that data is passed between a recursive DNS resolver and an authoritative DNS server. The information contained in the collected DNS traffic data is used to generate a virtual authoritative DNS server, or a zone associated with the authoritative DNS server, when it is determined that the authoritative DNS server has been compromised.

Systems, methods and devices are provided for registering DNS hostnames of Internet host devices for very large domain zones (VLZ) stored on a DNS server on a network, including setting a pseudo-zone as the VLZ, intercepting DNS updates to the pseudo-zone, mapping the entries in the pseudo-zone into a hierarchy of real parent zones and sub-zones using a mapping formula, and translating DNS updates to the pseudo-zone from an original fully qualified domain name (FQDN) into a at least one new FQDNs and adding the at least one new FQDNs to an authoritative DNS Server.
